-SNIP-
Server is being maintined and websites upgraded ETC ETC. - Online/Offline for a while. -
I'm tired of seeing servers with a million custom pieces of crap, the default weapons, in my eyes are enough, we've got a pistol, a shotgun, an SMG, an assault rifle and a sniper, why do we need like 2 or 3 different weapons in each of those classes?
It's the same with stuff like hats, player models and weapons with custom models, it's just adding more crap to download.

It has a very quick load intime infact
Using Boxman model - Immediate never playing there. The hitboxes are terrible on it and any server that ends up using it isn't caring about gameplay. Buyable guns to spawn with - Never heard that before (sarcasm), guns should be found. If you can buy almost any gun it's just a waste of space. Not a thing in your server that is any different from any other server. Your HUD looks like a mess, all of it is at the center, is incredibly simple and looks terrible. The one decent thing I see is when dead, players will have a different HUD with a controls listing. Like I said, this is pretty much like any other server out there, they even have your multiple weapons.
[B]@ReligiousNutJob[/B] - If you don't enjoy that stuff then you are able to go play a vanilla TTT. Many players do happen to enjoy the custom things servers will add since it makes the game more unique (hopefully) to different servers. Adding hats and models as well as custom weapons is fun as long as you consider gameplay value (hitboxes, too big a hat blocking everything, player model like danboard...) If you take into consideration that if every server was the same old vanilla TTT it would make no server different from the rest, thus taking away from any fun that could be made. Regardless it is your opinion and I respect that, so I hope you find some vanilla server that runs well.

Boxman - added by a donator, they choose a model to add when they donate, the HUD is meant to be simple and out of the way, giving most of the screen to the gameplay, the buyable guns, most people like as it gets annoying when trying to find a gun that you really want. But it's people preferences im not going to rage at you just because you don't like some customization that i and most of my staff, like, the boxman model i must admit i do not like, but next to no-one uses it, about 2 players have it. the reason the HUD isnt the most "awesome" one around is the fact that it was coded by a new LUA coder as i dont have the money to pay someone to make me a perfect HUD, he had been doing LUA for about 2 weeks when he made my HUD, and it is good for the first time HUD, we are always open to new suggestions and always updating the servers things.

You shouldn't allow donators have gameplay advantages like i.e. bad hitboxes. Politely tell him the model is not allowed because of unfair advantage.

I have actually only had 1-2 people complain about the model, if i get a few more i will

im complaining.
pls
[QUOTE=LewisUK;40212337]I have actually only had 1-2 people complain about the model, if i get a few more i will[/QUOTE]
IMO there shouldn't be anyone complaining at all. If the problem exists, it should be fixed. It shouldn't be left there because not enough people are complaining. But whatever, it's up to you. It's not a player, and I don't know if it's that big a deal, but whatever.
The main reason i haven't removed it yet is becuase i personally do not have an issue with it, but seeing people on here say the hitboxes are bad, i will most likly find who chose the model and request a model change. Anything else "problems" becuase im open to suggestions as this is still a new community (2 months)
I'll have to agree with ReligiousNutJob.
Your server has about:
6 Snipers, counting the built-in one.
6 Pistols, 8 with the built-in.
10 Rifles & Machine guns.
I think the shotgun addition was okay though, btw my numbers are not accurate but it is just almost.
I would say that you have too many weapons here, but I suppose it's up to the player if he likes to have a large array of weapons. Also, TTT isn't quite a gamemode where you can allow yourself to add a lot of content that has to be downloaded. It's mostly random people who join TTT servers who doesn't want anything with the community they're just looking for some quick fun, which they can get by joining one of the hundreds of servers there exists, so if they can get fun a little faster they usually join another server.
But if your server works in this way, and you have a lot of happy players then just continue with what you do.

I see what you are saying here, but the large array of weapons definatly add more gameplay choices, such as now instead of having a small choice of weaponry as traitor (pistol etc.) you can use turtle grenades to split up a group and pick them off, or tripwires to set traps and kill them off. But some people do not enjoy a lot of custom, and with the load in time, we use 99% gmod/cs:s/hl2 models to reduce the load-in time.. the longest load-in time is when you have to download a map.. about another 15 seconds loading.. But the thing is, all the rifles/machine guns/snipers are not used every round, different players prefer to use different weapons, and with this amount of gear, it allows them to choose what they like.
Generic as fuck
Also that HUD is sooo ugly. It's so misplaced.

Care to expand, if i get a few more details i can see if it would look better?
I'm actually sick of the amount if servers with huge amounts of mainly shit custom content and give donators massive advantages. It ruins the core gameplay, and using a website by Webs ruins all credibility for me.
I don't mind custom content, but IMO this is overkill.

Donators do not get massive advantages and what custom in particular dont you like about it?
The skins mainly, I don't like playing on TTT servers with skins (with added shitboxes).
Although an Osama bin Laden skin with a large turban would be quite amusing, I will admit. But that's it for skins.
Also, disguised weapons are completely retarded and should not exist.
EDIT: I reckon a Kim Jong Un skin would be fucking hilarious though.

Well the boxman is removed now, so the shitboxes are gone, but the one crowbar m16 doesnt really matter, it just gives players an extra choice.
Jihad? Don't like it.
[QUOTE=Sidewaykill;40231300]Jihad? Don't like it.[/QUOTE]
I have it to stop people grouping up, it just irritates most of the traitors when the innocents stay in one large pack, having JIHAD has actually made large groups very rare.
Groups are smart and logical. Wandering off = knife in back = motherfuckin' rage.
[QUOTE=Sidewaykill;40231345]Groups are smart and logical. Wandering off = knife in back = motherfuckin' rage.[/QUOTE]
Yes but when you have 75% of innos in one large pack, all it is for the traitors is standing around waiting for someone to wander off
Or C4.
[QUOTE=Sidewaykill;40231396]Or C4.[/QUOTE]
I find not many people can plant c4 on open maps where the group is moving around
That HUD Is horrible, You should put it in the left and make a box for it.

I actually like the HUD, so do most people, it spreads the old HUD out. And your "tip" is just too funny i am not reverting to the old HUD.

Get a proper website for crying out loud. If you are that strapped for cash, get a free Amazon EC2 Linux instance and run your webserver on that! Domain names are cheap as chips anyway. I'd be willing to help you setup a good website, if your interested add me on Steam. (Sidewaykill)
Okay, thanks for the offer i will add you on steam, we can talk there
The hud is disgusting...
